Right on the heels of her sister comes Pixie Geldof, meaning that the children of Paula Yates are now tied with the family of Jamie Oliver on four entries each. By comparison to the raucous Peaches, Pixie Geldof has led a more demure and reserved life. That doesn't mean she hasn't been active though; the 28-year-old is a model, singer, and activist, often lending her hand to environmental causes. She has a particular affinity for sharks.
As with Peaches, 'Pixie' isn't too out-there as a name (singer Pixie Lott would agree with that), but it's still something we'd expect to hear as a nickname more often than as a real name. Pixies are small and cute - appropriate for a child when it's very small but less so as they get older. To make things worse, her actual birth name was even worse - she's since dropped it, but she was once 'Little Pixie Geldof'!
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
